Conan Rick's Investigator

And the ore inside is gone...

Although the current situation is unclear, Lupin can confirm one thing.

These two objects fell to the ground but did not trigger the alarm, indicating that the protection system had been lifted.

Why not go in and grab a bargain now?

Lupin's eyes rolled, and his left foot was about to step into the floor, but his foot hovered in the air for a second before suddenly retracting.

Lupin III stood there, smiling wickedly.

"You want to trick me?"

"This strategy is far inferior to Fujiko's..."

……

At the same time, in a room in the palace, Duke Gerard stared at the monitor screen seriously.

Originally, Lupin III was planning to step into the treasury so that he could lock the thief underground and wait until everything was over.

But at the critical moment, Lupin III resisted the temptation of the treasure.

"Humph……"

Kirad snorted coldly and ordered his men, "Whether he enters or not, sound the palace alarm."

"Yes!"

The subordinate pressed the red button, and the loud alarm immediately resounded throughout the palace.

Conan, the Maori father and daughter, Princess Mira, Chis, Inspector Zenigata, and Lupin the Third all heard this voice in various parts of the palace.

"W-What's that sound?!"

"Was it a fire? Or an air raid?"

Maori Kogoro looked around vigilantly, but Chis beside him immediately explained: "This is a special alarm for the basement of the palace."

"Maybe... Lupin?"

"Your Highness, there's no need to panic. Just leave the outside matters to the guards."

Everyone in the room was relatively calm, but the sentries outside were in chaos, gathering towards the basement.

Lupin in the basement, after hearing the alarm, confirmed that it was indeed a trap and someone was watching his every move through the surveillance camera.

This person definitely can't be Mine Fujiko.

And if I'm not mistaken, Fujiko Mine has met with an accident.

Although Fujiko Mine often betrayed him, Lupin III had a special feeling for this woman and would never let her fend for herself.

Let's return to the ground first...

With his long legs, Lupin ran to the exit of the basement first.

The guards from the two corridors were rushing over, but Lupin was not at all panicked. He suddenly jumped up and hooked the ceiling with his special claw hook.

After the guards below swarmed into the basement, Lupin jumped down cleanly.

At this moment, the phone in Lupin's arms rang.

I picked up the phone and heard Jigen Daisuke's voice on the other end.

"Hey, what are you doing? You've triggered the alarm, and now the palace is surrounded by police cars!"

"Shall I fly a fighter plane with Goemon to support you?"

Lupin, who was in a tiger's den, was not anxious at all. He said calmly: "No need. I have 'that' anyway, don't I?"

"Besides, Mine Fujiko might have met with an accident. I need to stay here and figure out the situation."

Jigen Daisuke on the other end of the phone was speechless, "You, for that bad woman..."

Before Jigen could finish his rant, Lupin hung up the phone.

Now that most of the guards had been transferred to the basement, Lupin was able to move quickly within the palace and soon found Kogoro Mouri who was alone in the bathroom.

"Hey, it's time to contribute your 'face'~"

Kogoro Mori was peeing happily.

He had a feeling that the case would soon be solved by "himself", but before that he had to go to the toilet.

Don't wait, in case your "other personality" comes out and you still have urine in your bladder, causing you to wet your pants and make an embarrassing scene. That would be ugly.

Lupin was quite considerate. He waited until Kogoro Mouri released the pressure in his bladder before he attacked from behind and knocked him unconscious.

He took out a blowpipe and bubble gum from his pocket and started blowing bubbles.

The bubble grew bigger and bigger until it burst, and the skin-like bubble gum on it just completely covered Kogoro Mouri's head.

Then spray some setting potion on it, and a human skin mask that perfectly replicates the face shape will appear.

As for the rest of the fur, it only requires some rough gluing...

In less than 5 minutes, Lupin made an exquisite human skin mask.

Lupin put on a mask and changed into Kogoro Mouri's dark blue suit, leaving him with only a pair of shorts and a white vest.

This way, when he is discovered, he will be embarrassed for a while...

I can also use his identity to cause trouble, which can be regarded as revenge for Fujiko.

Let him bully the woman that Lupin likes!

Lupin the Third finally avenged Fujiko Mine...

?

Chapter 1079 The Queen and the Prince

At the Vesbania Palace, the alarm was finally lifted.

A large number of guards entered the basement to search, but found no other damage except for the guards who were knocked unconscious and knocked unconscious.

Including the "Queen's Crown", it just fell to the ground.

What is certain, however, is that someone broke into the basement with the intention of stealing the crown.

Inspector Zenigata, who arrived at the scene, was very sure that this was Lupin's work, and that Lupin, who had failed, must still be staying in the palace.

"Mr. Kirad, please ask all outsiders who have recently entered the palace to gather somewhere. Lupin must be among them."

Kirad had a smile on his face and didn't seem to be in a hurry. "Okay, then let's go to the east pavilion of the palace. It's spacious and quiet there."

Inspector Zenigata nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Kirad waved his hand and said politely, "No, no... Lupin is here after all, he is an expert indeed."

"I don't deserve it. See you later."

Inspector Zenigata left the room and headed east with a happy pace. As he ran, he excitedly shouted "Lupin, Lupin" like a child.

In the empty room, a gloomy look flashed across Kirad's smiling face, and he suddenly said.

"The location is in the east room, and everyone will be here soon."

"When the time comes, it will be time for you to fulfill your promise..."

Click.

The locked door of the suite opened and two dark figures walked out.

……

Royal Palace, East Room, PM, 05:32

As the sun sets, the orange-red afterglow of the sunset shines on the sparkling artificial lake, which is particularly beautiful.

Conan, the Mori father and daughter, Princess Mira, Inspector Zenigata, Chis, Chis's crew cut, Maid A, Maid B.

These people are exactly those who have been in and out of the palace in the past two days.

There is also Daisuke Jigen, a lawyer named "Fujimineko", and Fujimineko's driver, but these three were hired by Qis alone, and now they have left the palace and can no longer be found.

Everyone gathered in the pavilion in the center of the lake, some sitting and some standing, each with their own thoughts.

Conan glanced at everyone present. Although he heard that this was a meeting held to find Lupin, he had already accumulated a "package" of truths in his heart and couldn't help but tell them.

According to the investigation this afternoon, it has been confirmed that the Queen and the Prince were murdered.

Just to avoid alerting the enemy, this time Conan did not choose to hint Kogoro Mouri step by step, but waited for the opportunity to come.

On the other side of the pavilion, "Kogoro Mouri" put his hands in his pockets and looked at the lake quietly.

Of course, the real Kogoro Mouri is still sleeping soundly in the toilet, and the person standing here is Lupin the Third.

After Lupin III disguised himself as Kogoro Mouri in the bathroom, he just came out and received a notice like everyone else to gather in the east room.

When I got here, I still couldn't find Fujiko Mine.

Judging from the situation in the basement treasure house, Fujiko Mine must have entered the treasure house herself in advance.

But for some reason, the crown was not stolen, and the signal shielding sphere he made was also destroyed.

He had a hunch that Mine Fujiko was not going to back down due to difficulties, and there was no possibility that she would have a change of heart.

That woman must have met with some misfortune...

Thinking of this, Lupin III's eyes gradually became solemn.

Inspector Zenigata stood at the entrance of the pavilion, blocking the only plank road leading to the outside world. He had a smile on his face and glanced confidently at everyone present.

He is determined to succeed in this operation!

At this moment, Duke Girard walked up the plank road in front of the pavilion, followed by two red-clad guards holding spears.

"Is everyone here?"

"Is that all right, Inspector Zenigata?"

Duke Girard strolled over leisurely, looking like he was watching a show.

Because he has been staying in the palace recently and is not an outsider, he is obviously not among the suspects for Lupin.

"Yes..." Inspector Zenigata turned his head triumphantly.

"Well, the reason we've all been gathered here is simply because the crown was nearly stolen from the palace treasury, and the criminal is now..."

While Inspector Zenigata was explaining the situation, Conan had already started to take action.

Duke Girard has also arrived, and all the characters are present. Now is a good time to reveal the truth.

Excuse me, this is a murder case, let me speak first...

Conan has never been so "serious" about catching thieves. Those who understand will understand.

Taking advantage of his short stature, he crawled outside the stone fence of the pavilion and aimed the anesthetic needle at Kogoro Mouri's neck through the gap.

Uncle!

Come here!

The crosshairs on the watch cover were aimed at the right position, and Conan had just pressed the button when "Mouri Kogoro" caught a glimpse of Conan making a small movement out of the corner of his eye.

Ok?

I'm moving!

As soon as Lupin III moved his feet, the one who suffered was Inspector Zenigata who was talking.

The anesthetic needle hit Inspector Zenigata right between his eyebrows, and Zenigata's eyes immediately crossed, showing his great "wisdom".

The tall figure collapsed and slid down along the stone pillar of the pavilion. It seemed that he was sitting on the ground with the brim of his hat lowered, but in fact he had closed his eyes and "died" peacefully.

Lupin the Third: “!”

Seeing the effect of the anesthesia, Lupin was shocked for a moment, and also confirmed that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Looks fun, kid...
